2. HOW MANY WISHES HAVE YOU GRANTED?
Of course, this number changes on a regular basis. Click here to see how we're doing.

3. WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS?
There are two main differences. 1. We are the only wish granting organization in
Alberta to include children with chronic illness in our mandate. 2. We operate only in Alberta, soley for Albertan children. We are a stand-alone Society - in other words,
we are not part of a national or international organization, so unlike those organizations, all of the money raised is spent to make wishes come true for children right here in Alberta.

5. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FUNDING FROM?
All of our funding comes from individual and corporate donations along with proceeds raised at various fundraisers held
throughout the province. Some of the fundraisers are our own events while other events are held on our behalf.

We do not receive operations funding from any level of government or from agencies such as The United Way.

6. HOW MUCH OF MY DONATED DOLLAR GOES DIRECTLY TO WISHES?
We are proud to say that we spend 100% of the donations we issue income tax receipts for directly on wishes. In 2013, 91 cents of every dollar raised (receipted and non-receipted donations) was directed to our program.

Enhanced Charitable Tax Credit

Great news for donors!

The Alberta provincial charitable tax credit on annual donations over $200 is now 21 per cent. When added to the federal charitable tax credit of 29 per cent, you receive a 50 per cent non-refundable tax credit for every dollar donated over $200.

For example, if you donate a total of $500 to four or five charities throughout the year, you would receive a combined federal and provincial charitable tax credit of $200. For more information on Alberta's charitable tax credit, click here.

The charitable tax credit applies to Canada Revenue Agency-registered charities ONLY. These organizations are eligible to issue official income tax receipts.
